You can do. all for .yourself, and
nothing for anyone else- Be'as selfish
as a hog and as well thought of. Or
you can do littie kind ahte every
day of your life, without one dent
expenses to^ yourself,, and win toe
everlasting gratitude of your ne^-
bors.
Only those who love their neigh
bors as themselves will get to Hea
ven. Many nice people are selfish.
They never think of a kindness,
therefore do no kind tilings; they
never think of their neighbor so when
the Lord J^esus comes to earth again,
many will be filled with regrets.

They are saying now our new

to interfere with their liquor arrange

this is the truth. It is being said that
the retiring governor had an agree

to know about this, too.

When a person makes, a false.state>-

disposed to-question his or her,state
ment about everything ever after.
If gpverment becomes oppressive
if those in authority show disposition
towards fairness and equality before
the law, our duty as citizens is to
elect new and honest officers. When
this is denied, there is no chance for
good goverment. I see no other way
out of the dilemma but to move ou^
Goverment has no right a
citizen’s propertywitiloutpaying him
for it, nor have I believed the State
of North Carolina has had the right
to take material anywhere it finds
it to build roads, nor to dig an im
passable ditch in front of a man s
house.

Rev. H. K. Holland of Charlotte,
who has accepted a call to Raeford
Presbyterian church, is a young man
who has served the Plaz Presbyterian
church in Charlotte tor eight years
nd was beginning his ninth year
when he decided to accept the Raeford
call. His church reluctantly agreed to
join with their pastor in asking Mec
klenburg Presbytery to dismiss Mr.
Holland to Fayetteville Presbytery.
Sunday, December 29, and Mecklen
burg Presbytery took action Wednes
day, January 1st, so our new pastor
is expected soon.

ing for it. This act on toe part of toe
State.was.on all fours with the an

Why cannot a man be honest and
truthful, even if he is an office-see
ker,. and a so-called politician? There
can be no just explanation of a liie,
nor a dishonest deed, still, these are
resorted to in both low and high
offices. The public is often puzzled
to know when it hears the truth
concerning public affairs.

A man stepped up to a hotel desk
and rang a certain number; said
“Hello” and then stood silent wait
ing for some minutes, and a friend
asked; “Can’t you get your number?”
He said, “Oh yes, I am talking to my
wife.”

People are wondering if emergency
and eternity are alike, unending. Too
much tax money is consumed in com
missions, assistant officers who are
oh the state payroll, v(ho render little
or no service. It’s a shame to spend
so much for so little.
A small boy was visiting an air

“Son, you mouth is open.” And the

I do not admire the superiority
complex displayed by the British
nobility as displayed toward the Duke

most able and useful individual of thh

“It’s going to take a lot of intel
ligent planning and coordinated ef
forts on the part of a lot of indivi
duals and organizations to check the
current upward trend in traffic acci
dents in Nortlik Carolina,” Ronald
Hocutt, director Of the Highway Safe
ty Division, declared this week.
Reporting that provisipnal figures
indicate a toll of appro^imdfely 1,000
killed and 9,000 irijur^ on North
Carolina streets and highways during
1940, Hocutt pointed vbut that acci-
dtots in the state since last August
have' taken ah upward trend which
appears liable to continue into the
New Year.
‘-‘This slaughter must be stopped,
and I. pledge a more vigorous effort
on the part of the Highway Safety
Division toward reducing traffic ac
cidents during 1941,” he said. “But
we can no do the job alone. The traf
fic problem is largely a local problem,
and definite steps toward eliminat
ing accidents must come, for the most
part, from enforcement officials, edu-
cational leaders and interested organi
zations and individuals in each and
every community in the state.
Hocutt said there was considerable
safety activity on the part of many
groups in the state last year, but that
much of this activity was of the
flesh-in-the-pan variety.
“Safety activity, to be most effec
tive, must be carefully planned, assi
duously carried out and well coor-'
dinated,” he stated.
The safety director said his services
and those of his field jvorkers are
available in assisting any groups sin
cerely interested in helping to reduce
this state’s traffic toll.
